I don't know I deleted the icon for adobe.com--I think it's just a link to their site for news and things.  I didn't delete the folder yet though

Does it really?  That would be useful to me.  I need to know if they it can do the following basic things I can presently use my Adobe Reader for:

 

Can it read the 3D images and allow the user to manipulate them?  Can it play the sound-clips included in the file?  Will it allow you to fill out a form?  Can you play one like a Powerpoint file?  (I have put some of my Powerpoint presentations into Adobe because they perform the same and are easier to share.)


 

Well, if TO can't answer the question, is there anyone who can?  I would like to find a free low demand reader that can match Adobe Reader.

I checked out Adobe.com---It's a thing for sharing files over the web and has a messenger type thing.  I uninstalled it and Adobe Air and Reader still seems to work just fine.
